Ready to throw it away
on October 10, 2026
Posted by: ChairmanGoofyApricot
I do Lego sets to relax. This build is the exact opposite of relaxing. I’m still on the first water lily, and the petals will not stay on. The build architecture is too flimsy and unstable for the tight grouping of petals. I was looking forward to building these and displaying them on my bathroom vanity, but I’m ready to just throw the whole set in the trash now. Do not buy unless you want to use glue to keep everything in place. I expect better from you, Lego. I’m permanently turned off from your botanicals line if this is what the quality is like.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We're sorry to hear that you've had trouble with your set. We understand how frustrating it can be when pieces aren't staying in place. However, you should never need to use glue to keep your sets together. If you'd like a hand troubleshooting the build, please give us a shout at LEGO.build/Service.

Lovely Lilies
on September 8, 2026

I found this set to be quite pretty. My experience is limited because I mostly buy as gifts for kids and grandkids. It wasn't too hard to build and it is so easy to display and move around. It is lovely!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Frustrating
on August 29, 2026
Posted by: EsquireBraveScolder102
After finishing Minah Tirith I wanted something quick and easy. Waterlily was rated 9+. I got to the pink petals, they kept falling off off over and over again as I advanced. I had heard the click when I attached them. I went to Lego Builder to check if had done something wrong. I didn’t. Finally I got to step 30, the next to last attaching the stem. And there everything fell apart again.
I finally got the pink flower built by attaching the stem before starting the petals and got it done.
I did it the same way with the white flower and it was no problem that way.
The flowers look beautiful now that they are done.

Can't Go Wrong with the Lego Botanical Sets
on August 16, 2026
Posted by: MatthewT
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Lego Water Lilies are such a cute addition to my botanical Legos shelf! While most plant-themed Lego sets I've seen only come with one plant to build, this one comes with two, which I really like. They are well-designed to sit next to each other, and look great with my other sets. Not only were these fun and easy to assemble, but they also have the right amount of looking-like-Legos to be able to display in my home and not look weird with my other decor. I worried with this set that the flowers may be top heavy, but that's not the case, they are very lightweight and sturdy so I'm not worried about them falling over. The only downside is price, Legos have gotten more expensive over the past few years and it's not something my household can afford to buy a lot of right now, but you pay for quality and when we can, we will definitely buy more Legos, especially the cute botanical sets like this one.

Constantly Falls Apart While Building
on August 14, 2026
Posted by: amandable
This was one of the most frustrating LEGO sets I’ve ever built. The petals repeatedly fall off while you’re assembling the flowers, so I spent the entire build stopping to reattach pieces I had already completed. I tried adjusting how I was holding and assembling it, but nothing seemed to prevent it. For such a small, seemingly simple Botanical set, I’m genuinely shocked by how poorly designed the building experience is. This should have been a quick, enjoyable set, but instead it was unnecessarily difficult and aggravating.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

If your set seems like it's not very sturdy, the best thing to do is double-check your build. Sometimes there may be a piece just a little off from where it should be. You’ll also want to make sure that all the pieces are pressed tightly together. Feel free to reach out to us at LEGO.build/Service if you need assistance!

Repetitive
on August 12, 2026
Posted by: RoboticLennox029
The builds of the two flowers are identical, and the layers of each flower are fundamentally identical. So this set is a bit boring and I'm not sure why we needed to repeat it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
